Mr. Bean Trivia

Rowan Atkinson co-starred in the James Bond film "Never Say Never Again" with Sean Connery. He played the part of a British consul.

Rowan Atkinson went immediately from starring in the TV show, "Black Adder" to starring on the Mr. Bean TV show. The last episode of Black Adder aired in November of 1989 and the first of Mr. Bean aired just 2 months later!

Mr. Bean's first name was never revealed. Some sources claim that Rowan Atkinson once said that it was Julian but that's not true. He did say once that he "imagined" the first name to be Julian. That would make the character's full name Julian Bean which would be close to the name of real-life guitarist and lutenist Julian Bream.

The Theme Song words on Mr. Bean are in Latin. Here's what they mean: Intro: Ecce homo qui est farba = "Behold the man who is a bean". Before break: Finis partis primae = "End of part one". After break: Pars secunda = "Part two". At the end: Outro: Vale homo qui est farba = "Farewell, man who is a bean".
